Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9427351A1] The method of phase-shifting a voltage applied to a susceptance interconnecting a phase line of a first polyphase AC network with a corresponding phase line of a second polyphase AC network, both AC networks being synchronous, comprises the steps of: connecting a primary winding of a transformer in series with the susceptance; deriving from the AC networks, an excitation voltage having a phase angle with respect to a phase voltage provided by the phase line of the first AC network; and applying the excitation voltage to a secondary winding of the transformer, whereby the excitation voltage combines through the transformer with the phase voltage to cause phase-shifting of the voltage applied to the susceptance. This method is implemented with a phase-shifting interconnecting apparatus comprising series transformer arrangements having primary windings in series with capacitive and inductive susceptances, and secondary windings for receiving excitation voltages derived from the phase voltages of the first AC network. Angles ofphase-shifting produced by the series transformer arrangements can be changed either by changing portions of the primary windings connected in series with the susceptances, or by modulating amplitudes of the excitation voltages.
